Hastings Locks

The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself indoors.

Key makes a professional locksmith can service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are often found in hotels and commercial properties.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
